Rear Swaybar Fitting

Today I fitted a rear Whiteline swaybar to my r32 gts-t

Now I'm not sure I have got the link kit right.. I followed the instructions which shows how to place the link kit, but I have a feeling it may be wrong.

In the instructions it says (from right to left).. bolt -> small washer -> SWAYBAR -> link -> large washer -> end nut ... But I have fitted it up this way, and as you can see the link is on quite a lean (on both sides)

It looks like the link might fit better on the other side of the swaybar (e.g. from right to left end nut -> large washer -> link -> SWAYBAR ->etc, but were reluctant to go against the instructions.

Which way should it be?

Swapped the sides this morning.. just didn't look right as it was..

The links sit much closer to vertical now, which is the way it looks it should be.

Also attached for interest showing thickness of standard bar vs whiteline bar

Hey man i just installed mine and it seems to be hitting the drive shaft on heavy cornering.. can you put up a picture of the area of your swaybar and diff/drive shaft?

having a bit of trouble with my selby one i just bought. followed the instructions to the letter, i may have missed something.

i noticed you also have quite alot of thread underneath in this picture post-1332-1237108123_thumb.jpg does this mean your swaybar actually comes behind the section where the drive shaft bolts onto the diff?

thanks

The link goes on the outside of the swaybar not the inside.

As you lengthen and shorten the links it rotates the dip in the swaybar where it clears the exhaust. If you have the links too long the dip will hit on the drive shaft flange.

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      I'm thinking that this is such a small part of the problem that you could easily forego the vac pump and just achieve 90% of what you need, which is keeping the gate open when off boost. It's not as if there are not already techniques to keep a gate fully closed under boost. After all, you have boost. Just use a wastegate actuator that will allow you to apply the boost on the appropriate side, just like every external gate out there.

      Heres another fitment photo. redrilled the pattern to 5x112, and threw my audi´s rims on. had to touch the upper control arms with grinder, because the "sharp corner" was sticking about 2-3mm on the tire path. i have the "fender lip" mostly cut off, otherwise these (too) would contact with it. 20x9.5 ET25 rear    265/30 20x8.5 ET20 front    255/30 they are temporary, and look too big for the chassis. searching for 19s to it.

      Background: my BMW 225i hatchback (rebodied MINI/X1) came with 3x RE003 and 1x Goodyear Asymmetric something. The RE003 roared and slid around, the Goodyear side was quiet and grippy. Definitely my car was thrashed before it got sent to dealers. My brother also got RE003 all round on his old VA WRX STI, I wasn't impressed with them, car was loud so can't comment on noise. Anyway, Hankook stopped making/updating V12 Evo2. So bought S1 Evo3 runflats. Great daily duties tyre and not that harsh ride. Tyre reviews site/youtube rated them as best stopping in the rain and I believe them. Next set, Goodyear Asymmetric 5 non-RFT. It beat PS4 in tests and is like $100 cheaper, so put them on. Great tyre, more grip then S1 Evo3 but a tad noisier as expected, still rocking them. Next set I am looking to go runflats, probably the new Hankook Evo. Although the new Pirelli PZ5 did well in tyrereviews test. Or go Goodyear Asymmetric 6 which was top tyre last year. The V12 Evo2 on my gen5 Liberty GT wagon did great in cold condition (drove to snowy mountains for a day so my husky can feel his ancestor's roots). Super impressive performance for $120 each lol. Never skimp on tyres, brakes, suspension. There's old pics of my R31's crappy random brake pads bending in the caliper at Oran Park track day somewhere around here. Anyway, my 2 cents.
